If it's a good story, then everybody is trying to tell it, everybody is better for it, and it's just more fun.

I've always liked stories. I'm always reading, ever since I was a kid. I've always been reading and wanting to be in some other world.

In the past, if you did film, you couldn't do stage, and if you did film, you certainly didn't do television. You had to pick what you wanted to be. Now it seems like we can bounce around, not only between genres, but between mediums, and I like that. I like change and I like a good story.

You'll see a lot more blood in 'Saw' movies or something like that than you will in either of the 'Last House' movies. I kind of think it owes more to 'The Virgin Spring' which is the original source material, the Bergman movie.
